T4

Hey, we paid a bit extra and sat through it Gold Class, but I enjoyed Terminator Salvation after a few beers. Others may have missed bits as you can’t pause for a toilet break at the movies! – but bladder of iron E@L managed it all the way through!

Dude, the special effects were great. It’s a wonder no-one got hurt when that big robot grabbed them! Almost like it wasn’t real.

It had everything, including “the nod (slow)“, the “tedious and unnecessary (in the world of the movie) explanatory sequence”, and “the incredibly fast-paced action-edits grinding to a cervical spine whip-lashing halt for the last 5-10 minutes of treacle paced schmaltz”, a la LOTR, Gladiator, and just about everything since but no excluding Battleship Potemkin…

This is why I love the ending of the Director’s Cut of BladeRunner, also with its “nod (slow)”, but NO TREACLE PACING!

Having said all that, I mindlessly enjoyed T4 tonight until… hang on, no-one went back in time to rescue Saruh Connuh!! WTF? NOOooooo, don’t tell me…

Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck… maybe even a “recreational vehicle.” And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
